The 1963 Impala didn't bring any notable changes compared to its predecessor, especially from an engine perspective.
The base unit was still the same lazy six-cylinder mill that made the Impala the perfect companion for picking up groceries. The 283 remained the base V8, while the small-block offering started with the 327, available with 250 and 300 horsepower.
The Turbo-Fire 409 was the icing on the Impala cake. It could be had with 340, 400, and 425 horsepower, with the top version fitting the Super Sport like a glove. And speaking of the Super Sport, the high-performance Impala was used by Chevrolet to celebrate a historic milestone: manufacturing its 50 millionth vehicle.
A 1963 Impala recently landed on eBay with one ambitious mission: find a new home after spending its entire life with the same owner.
eBay seller i*find*u*flip says the car has recently been purchased from the one and only owner, though it now comes without an engine and a transmission. The owner wanted to keep the drivetrain, so the Impala is now a roller, leaving the door open to any engine you want. The 409 is a fantastic choice, despite the car not flexing the SS tags, but you can also find a period-correct 327 if you want to stick with the original setup.
Still coming with the original hubcaps, the Impala has never been altered. It seems to check most boxes for a solid restoration candidate, especially as it still wears mostly original paint. The rust has already made its way to the metal parts, but the Impala is far from becoming a rust bucket. It's undoubtedly doable despite the cracked windshield and the locked trunk. The seller says the owner lost the keys, so we're not getting a closer look at the trunk.
This Impala landed online with one big mission: to find a new home where it can hopefully receive the long-overdue complete restoration. The digital fight has recently ended after a fierce battle, but despite the car receiving over 50 bids, nobody submitted an offer to unlock the reserve. As a result, the car failed to find a new home, as the top $8,550 offer couldn't trigger the reserve.
The Buy It Now price was $11,800, so it's safe to assume the highest bid wasn't far from the reserve's value. While this Impala failed to find a new home on its first attempt, I expect the car to land on eBay again in the coming weeks. I'll keep an eye on the listing and let you know when the car is up for grabs again.
The Impala is parked in Everest, Kansas, and you'll need a trailer to take it home if it becomes available on the auction site.
